The Sitka hotel has the charm and quaintness you would want and expect when visiting Alaska. Our room had a small kitchenette which was nice to have. The location was perfect. We enjoyed how close it was to restaurants, shops, marina, parks and the beach. I would recommend staying here! read more

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this place is a joke. Upon arrival, the employee, instead of saying something like "Welcome in, have a seat in the lobby, but I can't check you in until 3PM"...they stormed past us and yelled "no check in until 3!" Okay, I didn't have a problem with 3PM, I just need to store my luggage for an hour. I put my luggage in their closet, came back for it an hour later, and it was gone. The employee left and wouldn't help find it. No one returned to the front. I called the desk, hoping to lure the employee. No luck. It took my friend, a local, calling to get them to come help, a half hour after this luggage search started. It was a mess. Finally located my luggage an hour later. And to make matters worse, our room wasn't ready for check in until 5PM... That's two hours late from their reservation guarantee. At this time, there were around 6 upset guests still waiting with us. The room itself was fine. But not worth the $230 a night. I only stayed one night and will not be back. The behavior from the employee was baffling. This review doesn't encapsulate every single interaction I had with them- that would be a looong and unhappy review. I can give it two stars rather than one due to the prime location. read more

Stayed here due to a canceled flight to Juneau and was not impressed. TV's didn't work, no coffee makers in the rooms, no charging stations or plugs next to the beds, no soap in the bathroom, restaurant was closed, over priced ($190), noisy, no coffee in the morning until 7:30, blood on the sheets. Overall bad experience. Location is good and that's about it. read more

Right downtown. Very friendly staff. Large rooms with great harbor views. Their attached restaurant is convenient, especially during bad weather. Airport shuttle serves many hotels, so depending upon how many pickups the shuttle has scheduled, the times are approximate. 12:15 shuttle came at 12:00. Glad we were ready !! Minimal breakfast. Access to the hotel from Lincoln Street is good but to get to it, you have to go through the restaurant or down an alley to the back of the building where the main hotel entrance is located. Sitka was once the capital of Alaska. There is lots to do & see. read more

We stayed at the hotel at the front and back end of a fishing trip. Both rooms were not particularly clean. The tubs had a gray body-oil ring in them (see pic), the first room toilet had a pink ring in it, the cups in the cupboard were not clean. In addition, in the first room, the soap dispenser had fallen off the wall and was seriously stuck to the floor inconveniently in front of the sink. And the TV only had 1 channel. Also, the bar at the street was excessively loud. And because there's no A/C apparently, we had to leave the window open because it was so hot. On the back end we stayed 2 days. The room was not cleaned after the 1st day. No clean towels, no coffee... when I mentioned this to the front desk they seemed surprised. But from other reviews it seems that might be common. The staff was friendly and helpful. Also, the shuttle to the airport was very convenient. And the attached restaurant was very nice - good food. Some people have said that they like it because of the location. But honestly, the town is so small, the other hotels are just as convenient to everything. read more

I have very mixed feelings about this hotel. The location could not have been better - easy walking distance to all the shops, theater, restaurants, sightseeing around town. It also has some historic character & charm. The room seemed clean & comfortable. On the can't recommend side, though, I called them around noon to see if I could get an early check in & the front desk (female) said the room wouldn't be ready yet. Ok - not a problem. But when i did arrive around 4, the front desk (a different person) seemed to have trouble finding my prepaid reservation. After some digging around in his computer, he said it looked like I'd already checked in around 130, and that perhaps the other clerk had made some kind of entry in error. He also said I had to pay an extra $5 resort fee that wasn't covered by my prepay. Since this hotel has zero resort features, I asked what that covered, & he said something about the coffee in the room (!!). Ok, so I took my key to my 2nd floor room, & it opened slightly & then was blocked by the door security latch. I could see a coffee cup on the counter. Clearly the room was already occupied. Returning to the front desk, I explained all this to the clerk. I asked for a copy of my folio. Tt referenced a credit card that wasn't mine, but also listed mine plus a third one that the clerk said was an accounting feature to receive my online prepayment. After another 10 min on his computer, the clerk gave me a different room. He couldn't explain why the female clerk had checked another guest into my room. I asked for some proof that my credit card wasn't still tied to the first room, that my name was no longer connected to that room & that my information was secure. He said it was all taken care of but he couldn't give me any documentation. I told him I wanted to talk to the manager. He said he didn't know where she was, & was likely out covering on of their other 4 properties. I said I wanted her to email me to discuss this incident. It's been over a month & I've never heard from them. Zero apologies from the clerk or anyone. About 10 minutes in, I realized the TV wasn't working. I called the same clerk who came up, rebooted the direct tv system, & reset the cables - that was another 15 min or so. I appreciated his efforts, but the hotel should have ensured everything was working properly before renting the room. While I was waiting in the lobby to get my room resolved, there were 2 other guests waiting to complain to the front desk. One said she couldn't sleep the night before because of the loud bar just downstairs from her room, & that they'd told her there were no other rooms to move her to. And the coffee machine in the lobby was inop. And no filtered water or water bottles for the guests. Interestingly, there's a framed news article in the wall directly across (maybe 5') from the front desk, detailing heroic actions by hotel personnel several years ago after a fire broke out in the hotel. I remarked on this to the clerk - he said he'd never noticed it before. Seriously?! Whoever is training the hotel staff really needs to put a little more effort into it. Hotel history - personalized service - attention to details. . read more

Expensive and not good. The shrimp diablo was too spicy. The mussels had a spicy broth. The vegetarian pasta was uninspired. The waite-staff was good, but the food was not. This place will continue to thrive because of its location and not because of its food. read more

I arrived in Sitka on March 23, 2025 on a business trip, and stayed for 9 nights. I stayed at the Sitka Hotel, and could not have been happier. The hotel was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The Keurig coffee maker was a nice touch. The staff was not only helpful, but very friendly. Whenever I needed something, the staff was right on it. The shuttle to the airport left right on time, and was a big help. The driver helped my friend and I load and unload our bags. Everything was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing! 100/100. read more

Came here for lunch based on reviews. It didn't disappoint. Got the special of the day. Halibut fish and chips and the Seafood Chowder. To start the chowder was the bomb. So fresh and delicious. The halibut fish and chips was cooked perfectly, not heavily battered but just enough. I gave a 4 stars because of price. $38 for a lunch basket is expensive. read more

Hotel location is great and the gentleman at front desk with long hair is a treasure trove of local information! But if you get a room facing the bar next door you will be subject to very loud music and drunk conversations outside until 2am in the morning. This is no joke. If you like rest and have to wake early you have been warned. read more

Outdated but clean. Beds were not so comfortable, but, for one night it was do-able. We had a FANTASTIC view and it was nice that the window opened as the room was a little stuffy and cleaning product scented. Front desk person was barely pleasant - not rude - just...disinterested. Continental breakfast was umm....nothing? Dry cereal or ancient granola bars. Do yourself a favor and head to Highliner or Wild Flour. Located next door to a noisy bar that was extra noisy after midnight. Was nice that there was a shuttle to the airport available. read more

STAY AWAY! Unless you like unauthorized charges to your credit card, stay away!! I fought with them after they charged my credit card despite the reservation being 100% prepaid. Repeated requests to have them remove the charges went unanswered. Maybe someday they'll wise up - or maybe the Alaska Attorney General will force them to obey the law. read more

Hotel is a bit dated but clean enough. Had all the amenities: fridge, micro., etc. Front desk staff were ok. Not super welcoming but not unfriendly. Restaurant is expensive and noisy. Not at all single guest friendly. The table for singles is placed right by the front door, which is left open all the time. When I asked if there was another table it was clearly a problem. I would have taken a seat at the bar away from the door but there wasn't room. I want to get a sweater because I was cold and when I got back to the table my food was sitting on the table getting cold. I had ordered a glass of wine and didn't even get a glass of water! You'd think that if you're ordering the $70 Halibut (yes, for one) they'd at least serve you a glass of wine first. Bartender decided I was drunk and refused to serve me anything and kicked me out when I asked for the food to be returned after I got a drink! I couldn't believe it. So, while the servers were polite, the bartender was totally out of control. It was a very unpleasant scene. So in summary, if you're a single woman dining by yourself, steer well clear. Went down the street to the Aspen hotel restaurant had a lovely, uneventful meal and was served quickly and got my cocktail first. read more

The salad was surprisingly large and flavourful. The star of the meal was the halibut fish and chips. The freshest fish possible, and cooked perfectly without being greasy or too-heavily breaded. Such a great representation of Sitka and supporting a local business. read more

I stayed here for 2 nights. The lobby looks nice, but the cleaner they used to clean is too strong, linger in the lobby all the time. The room's carpet is dirty and cheap stick-on carpet. The bed is fine, but the bedframe is a thin metal bed frame with no headboard. The problem is there are 2 outlets in the room, one is behind the bed, which is torn apart, afraid to even touch it. Another is where the microwave was and there is a big hole that they cut out from the drywall right below the microwave and no repairs. And the floors are thin, since I hear upstairs long walking. It is not the best place to stay if you can find another hotel. read more

Stayed here for a long holiday weekend around the 4th of July. Great location, convenient to airport shuttle and excellent restaurants. Beautiful view of the mountains. I don't expect high quality in Sitka; the rooms are drab, simple and nothing to write home about. I did dock them because of failure to ever clean my room. I even ran into the cleaning lady, and asked her to clean it, but I don't think she understood me. I hear some rooms should be avoided, like near the bar. read more

Breakfast was not included as promised. Rooms were fine. Front desk receptionist in the morning was not helpful

Review for the restaurant only. Easily the best place I ate at in Sitka. (couldn't make it to Ludwig's, they were too busy Saturday night and then closed Sunday and Monday, maybe next time) The bartender, Kale, was friendly and knowledgeable. I never remember server/bartender names but, how could I forget "Kale"?! It was fun talking Alaska-shop with him. Selection of beer and wine was top-notch. Lots of local-ish stuff. The cocktails also looked excellent. The ethanol setup here would be admired even in a much larger place like Anchorage. I got the game medallions, I subbed additional veggies for the potatoes. Usually, when I do this at restaurants, they simply don't give me potatoes and the veggies look marginally larger, and I get sad. Not here, these were LEGIT double veggies! I didn't hurt that they were mostly broccolini, my favorite veggie! The medallions themselves were reindeer. It's hard to find reindeer in Anchorage restaurants. Usually, all you get is the "sausage" form of it which is usually like 5% reindeer, 95% pork. The cherry sauce for the medallions was WAY too sweet for me, but I was able to easily scrape it off. When I next visit Sitka, this will be one of the first places I go! read more

The service was great. Denny the shuttle driver and the two ladies working the front desk were helpful and friendly. Our room was fine. The bed and pillow were comfortable. It was very convenient to have shuttle service to and from the airport. The location next to shops and restaurants is fantastic. When a plane lands, or cruse ship stops; businesses in Sitka get swamped. A previously quiet place can turn from a shallow empty stream with little signs of life to one packed with salmon fighting to get somewhere. read more

Funky older hotel with clean rooms. HOWEVER if you want to be assured of a good nights sleep, ask for a room AWAY from hotel entrance side, which is right next to a bar. Kept awake for hours with revelers on Saturday night. Also, no real comfortable chairs in room(one straight back chair only, no desk) had to read/work online sitting on bed. read more

The staff made the difference for me. They (Tamzen & Denny) were very courteous. Tamzen provided us with a historial background of Sitka that we may have never known. The rooms are clean but dated. read more

The newly appointed Sitka Hotel is a good place to lodge. Convenient. Very friendly folks. Very good beds, though the drawers beneath protrude into floor space so that using the desk affects foot traffic a bit. No big deal. Facilities were very clean and useful. Did I say nice people? Yes they were. Airport Shuttle a real bonus. Bathroom clean, good hot water. Breakfast was good. Recommend. read more

The room was clean and quiet albeit very austere - that much was ok - The reception clerk was difficult to talk to - would not look up and acknowledge you standing in front of her - the breakfast was sparse - dry cereal and a gallon of milk plus granola bars if you got there early was the extent of it - undoubtedly there are better places to stay in Sitka read more

The best fish and chips I ever ate. They're so tender and crispy at the same time. The dill tarter sauce is so amazing I want to take it home! Great atmosphere and friendly. Come and enjoy read more

New owners are refurbishing the place. Old school hotel across from the Pioneer Home. This review is for the restaurant. It's a big thumbs up. The restaurant/lounge has a rustic modern feel. Great selection of craft beers, wine and cocktails. Upscale imaginative food menu. food artfully plated. We had the Halibut and the Game Medallions. The food is locally sourced where possible. Both dishes were done to a turn and delicious. Service was great. A welcome addition to the Sitka food scene. read more

I wish that I could give a better rating but unfortunately I can't. From the time we arrived until we checked out it was close was not pleasant experience. 1. We were confirmed to check in at 3PM, "Rooms not ready, we are short on maid staff because our other team took a vacation" Finally got into our room about 5 PM. 2. The rooms a small. Our room had a straight back chair, no other chair to sit in the room like most hotels. No deks to work on with a computer. Either sit on bed, sit in straight back chair, or stand up! 3. We returned from day of sightseeing to find that our room was not made up! Again, excuse was not enough help because of vacations of maid staff. We sat in the lobby for about 2 hours waiting for our room made up. When we back to room, we had new towels but bed was not made. This was pretty much the drill daily.4290349 On the plus side, the shower was not and the free coffee was hot. Breakfast bar was pretty thin. Ran into a man in the elevator who said that he was the "new" management company on their third day. He stated that the hotel was just sold so maybe things will get better. Overall I would say that for $175 a night, NOT a value. read more

Stayed here for a night at the end of a cruise. Wanted time to explore the town and the Sitka Hotel is quite well located for local shops and restaurants as well as sightseeing in town. Can even walk to Old Sitka State Historic Park. We did not expect high quality, but our room was dark, had mold on the windowsills, and broken mini blinds. Our room faced the back of some buildings and food trucks. Walls were thin so had to close bathroom door so we didn't hear voices from room next door. "Kitchen" in description was a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker with no coffee, just a few creamers and some sugar. Continental breakfast was granola bars from Costco and cereal plus juice. Not sure why they bothered to have a toaster as there was nothing to toast. Front desk staff were not welcoming, just doing a job. Luggage was stored in a room that was overfull and we had to figure out how to fit it in ourselves. All this for over $250 per night! Do not recommend staying here. read more

Hotel was in a great location. Easy walking distance from the cruise docks (we were going on an Uncruise to Juneau). Rooms were clean but dated but perfectly fine for what we needed. Lighting was a little tough for reading in bed but we managed. Shuttle from airport was a great convenience. If I make it back to Sitka, I would stay again. read more

This review is for the restaurant only. We stopped in Sitka while in a cruise through Alaska. Overall, not super impressed with the town. We searched pretty hard for a place to grab lunch that wasn't crazy expensive (one place was selling 1 pound of crab legs for $50!) This place was pretty crowded but we found 2 seats at the bar looking into the kitchen. I'm pretty sure the couple sitting next to us was the owners. They were very nice and asked us how everything was with our food and how the cruise was going. I ordered the reindeer stew. It was simply amazing. My boyfriend had the fish and chips which was also really good. They also had some local beer on tap that was delicious as well. I doubt I'll ever go out of my way to go back to Sitka. But if I do, I'll absolutely go back to the Sitka Hotel and Restaurant to have the reindeer stew again. read more

We checked in to the Sitka Hotel for two nights. It is in a very central location in town and we had a beautiful view of the ocean and mountains. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bathroom was very nice! The restaurant seemed nice though we did not dine there. There is no room service. The room did have a refrigerator and microwave as well as a lot of TV channels. A very kind gentleman who works there helped us in the middle of the night when the vending machine got stuck. He also gave us a ride to the airport at 5 a.m. on our day of departure (it's less than ten minutes away). It was a great stay! read more

Hotel was decent. Stayed in Penthouse, not exactly worth the price, considering there was no AC and the sink didn't drain. Front desk ladies seemed a bit standoffish. Kindness goes a long way.

We came back from a small cruise they Alaska. The two hotels the. Ruise recommended we're booked so we chose this hotel. Couldn't be happier!!! Great location , breakfast in the morning and best of all they shuttled us to the airport at 430 am! The other two hotels did not offer that and people were scrambling at that awful hour to try to find a cab! So glad we stayed here read more

By now you know my story: we went on a cruise to Alaska and had a laundry list of local breweries to visit along the way. Sadly, Baranof Island Brewing Co, who we most looked forward to checking out in Sitka, did not open in time for our 3:30pm ship departure. So we dove into the Sitka Hotel and their cute, log-cabin themed bar where (yay!) we found Baranof's signature Peril Strait Pale Ale on tap for the hubbaroni, and a Kenai River Brewing Co Naptown Nut Brown for malt-loving me. Both were cold and delicious, even on a chilly, rainy day in this cute Alaskan town. We weren't hungry, nor did we need a place to stay, so this review is just for the beer - but if you're in Sitka and looking for a couple of decent local taps for microbrews you will find them here. read more

Sadly, very unhappy with our 4 night stay this past July 2023. Regarding the room, it was a very small double bed, not even a queen size, my husband and I barely fit! The room was muggy with very poor ventilation, no fan, only a heater which we did not need. "Breakfast" was granola bars and cereals with milk, nothing else but the absolute worse part of our stay made our stay from bad to a nightmare was the bars near us with very loud music every night. We were on the second floor and the bar lounge that belong to the hotel was extremely loud the first night we got there, to the point where our room was vibrating and we couldn't hear our own TV , we had to call the receptionist at 10 o'clock at night, thankfully, they turned it off after that call. There was another bar that was may be 50-100 feet away from from the hotel which was also very loud. This continued all weekend. Long story short, between the small bed situation, and the loud music from the bars, we slept very poorly all weekend. Cannot not recommended this hotel enough. read more

Restaurant review only - not good and crazy high prices for the food. They never brought my sons spaghetti and meatballs and charged $24 for an arugula salad with a couple beet slices. If you can go somewhere else, do. Super slow and can't handle the traffic of a cruise ship. read more
